Just now we
do have the early spring here in the Canoe Country Nordmarken. It´s about 2-3
weeks earlier than normal. Our first canoe guests will come two days from now and
the fishing is extreme good right now. Lucky ones and I think they will be
almost alone in the wilderness.

There are
many different way of canoeing and outdoor life. Lots of our guests come from
high concentrated area with a lot of people in large cities. Bad air, polluted
water in the lakes and streams and stress with a lot of other people close
together.

If you go
on a canoe tour you set your own speed, drink the water direct from the lake, and
take a break when you want or hit shore to overnight in solitude nature. This
is the way it should be I Nordmarken, Värmland, Sweden. It has been this, since
I started as a canoe outfitter 1956. But now large German companies are sending 2-4 buses with canoers to one part of the area Nordmarken in Värmland, Sweden
every week during the whole summer.

We who live
here, have our business near the shore, know the area well, know all the good
places and have a good relation to mostly of the landowners, is a bit a shame
of this new invasion. Hundreds of people come to the area on a small spot and
100-300 people are going back to Germany at the same time. All are mostly in the
same lake Foxen, on the island and camp sites. It´s difficult to fine remote
areas and enjoy the solitude and the thing our guests want on a canoe tour.

But we do
have a 100% knowhow about the area and lived here for more 55 years and can
show you places where you can be alone and have a good time away from crowded
lakes. We don’t see the profit in EURO´s, we want our guests to have a good
time and come back year after year and find the good spots, we show them and
give them what they have paid for, not to stand hours waiting to get on tour on
a crowded lake.

Now fishing
is as good as it can be. There has been a lot of work done of the local fishing
club to make fishing even better. Some small streams have been opened so the
Lake Trout and Salmon can come up streams to good spots for the autumn spawn.
There is a Fishing plan for the future and a lot more will be done coming year.

You have to
start early to be good canoers. This young lady has done several tours with her
family and always having a good time. All young children at our Canoe Center in
Risviken will have there own paddle and safety west. It´s part of our policy.

About 8000-9000
years there were people in south Sweden. From the Stone Age up to what we call Bronze
Age there is a lot of different thing to find from this epoch. Remarkable rock
carvings near water and where this early people were traveling. Yesterday I was
visiting one of these rocks carving area and found a lot of fine Rock carvings.
On the road back I came to an area where there was an old graveyard from the
Bronze Age. There was also a parking area where modern people have made their
signs. About 60 meter of trash along parking area on Road 26 north bound south
of Kristinehamn. There are often people who claim that canoers are the one who pollute
the nature but on this spot there is a 100% guaranty no foreigners and no
canoers have done this. It come from Swedes going to or from there winter vacation.

The
technique is moving forward. I forgot my car key on the seat under a jacket in
my car someday go. I was taking to a friend outside the car. My Volvo Car has a
system that the door close automatic after a while. Real smart sometimes. So I
was standing there on a late Saturday evening all workshops were closed and my
car was locked. I start thinking. I call my wife and ask her to call my phone
and then press the extra key she have and let tone go to my phone. So she did
and I hold my Phone near the red button that open the door on the car, and it
was OK. Door opens up.

From a technician
I Germany I have heard that if You write tsriflirpa uoy luuf on your phone and it
works better. So go out and test on your car now.
